No one told me I was supposed to use the test service, so I am using real bitcoin with the Dark Wallet alpha.

It's been a bug-filled experience, but still this is promising software.

I tried to give away some bitcoin to listeners of my radio show, and it has been confusing and slow.  I outline some of my experiences, for anyone who cares, here in this thread:  https://www.facebook.com/freetalklive/posts/10152121299029072?stream_ref=10  - my comments are as "Free Talk Live".

I sure hope this gets out of alpha soon.
